A project that requires a 'heartbeat' type application

2004-06-10 Thread Derrick MacPherson
I've been asked to go ahead with a project that will require me to build
several machines, 2 of which are to be used for mysql, one being 'live'
and writeable, the other being a read only backup server. The developers
are Linux people that are used to using an application called hearbeat
that does failover, and I am wondering what I can do in freebsd that is
similiar, if my mysql live server dies, the backup server takes over. I
browsed ports but there's so much there I may be missing something. 

thanks for any input.

heartbeat-1.2.1 builds cleanly on FreeBSD boxes and works fine.  1.2.2
looks like it builds but doesn't fail the IP over correctly.  I am
currently using it to flip between two mysql servers doing
master-master replication.
